Night has settled over the neighborhood, the streetlamps casting a sickly yellow glow on the wet asphalt. At ten o'clock, the street is nearly empty, the only sound the echo of your own footsteps. You spot a cluster of figures under the bus shelter—your brother's six friends, leaning against the wall, voices a low murmur. Their silhouettes are sharp against the shadows. Rashad is the first to straighten up, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Hey, where you headed at this hour? Get home." He takes a step forward, and the others fix you with a stare, waiting for your reply.
